Same sex marriage is one issue that has caused countless debates around the world. Nigeria was not left out in this drama. The government through the reps was trying to take a firm stand on gay marriage but our big brothers kept shaking our knees with threats of aid withdrawal and what not.

All that changed when the House of Representatives, on Thursday May 29th approved 14 years imprisonment for persons who contracted same sex marriage in the country.

This was sequel to a clause-by-clause consideration of a Bill for an Act to prohibit marriage or union entered between persons of same sex, at the Committee of the Whole.

“Marriage or civil union entered between persons of same gender shall not be solemnised in any place of worship, either church or mosque or any place in Nigeria,” it said.

Introducing the bill, Rep. Albert Sam-Tsokwa ( PDP-Taraba) said that it sought to achieve a far reaching objective by outlawing same sex marriage and provide punishment for offenders.

It also set out a 10-year sentence for “any person who directly or indirectly makes public show of same-sex amorous relationships’’.

“Any persons or group of persons that administers, witnesses, screen and shields the solemnisation of same sex marriage in Nigeria on conviction, will be liable to 10 years imprisonment.’’

It would be recalled also that the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, had warned that his country would consider withholding aid from countries that did not recognise gay rights.

In Nov. 2011, the senate approved the bill that would make same-sex marriages punishable by up to 14 years for the couple and 10 for anyone abetting such unions.

The bill is expected to be sent to the Senate for concurrence.

Public opinions have been flying around with a lot of them applauding the Nigerian law makers for doing the right thing. I’d like to know your thoughts on the matter… Until then:
“NO SIR, YOU CAN NOT TAKE THAT MAN AS YOUR LAWFULLY WEDDED HUSBAND!!!”

I have seen marketing strategies in my time on this green planet. Different gimmicks employed by business owners to further the cause of their establishment.

However, none have stood out like that of a french restaurant named “The Ananas Bar and Restaurant” in Sydney. They installed two weird úrinals to attract attention. The úrinals were designed to look like a woman’s moúth with red lips.

The restaurant owner said: “The bright red-lipped úrinals shaped like an open mouth was a commonly used European design piece from female Dutch artist Meike Van Schijndel.”
Women repeatedly asked for permission to go in to take photos of the úrinals. But feminist, former political adviser and writer, Anne Summers, was not impressed with the úrinals. She called the design offensive. She demanded the restaurant owner remove the red-lipped úrinals.

The owner of the recently opened restaurant did not want the negative attention from feminists, so they agreed to remove the úrinals and apologized for anyone it may have offended. “We sincerely apologize if they have offended anyone. They are being removed today,” a spokeswoman said in a statement.

I don’t know about you all, but I think the urinals were a great idea. A wonderful way to get a good laugh while emptying your bladder at the same time… People should stop being too uptight all the time. I say to anyone who. May feel offended by this- “get a sense of humour, it will colour your terribly drab life!!!”

Now I gotta pee

A chinese woman has been forced to met her own brand of justice to her mentally deranged son by locking him up in a cage for past eleven years. 74 year old Wang Muxiang, mother of Wu Yuanhong had to resort to this course of action after he murdered a teenage boy in their village of Ruichang in Jiangxi Province while suffering an episode of ‘psychosis’.

He also beat a 13 year old to death in 2001 but wasn’t held by authorities due to his mental illness. The sad mother built the cage which held her son for over a decade by herself because no one agreed to help her for fear of the explosive Wu. Wang said:

‘I wielded the cage while crying heavily. Although he suffers from mental illness and killed a person, he still is my son. Thinking I was making a cage to lock him in, my heart was broken.’

Was the woman cruel to have done that or vindicated on the account of her son’s violent disposition?

In most weddings, the couple, especially the female fret for months over what to wear on their special day; strapless or strap, three piece or double breasted… This New Zealand couple however, didn’t need to worry about such details… because they got married in the NUDE.

Nick and Wendy Lowe were married at the Wellington Naturist Club on Saturday in a “clothing optional” wedding, reported local newspaper The Dominion Post. About half of the 120 guests were Unclad. Both clothed and Unclad photos were taken, and though guests were asked to dress for dinner, the dancing portion of the event was clothing optional.

It was Nick who encouraged Wendy to embrace the ‘naturist’ or ‘nudist’ lifestyle.

“It was one of the first things he said to me: ‘I’m a naturist, how do you feel about it?’ I knew at some point I’d have to at least try it,” Wendy, the happy and naked new bride said.

Check out more photos below and let me know what you think about this bizarre event.

“One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all and in the darkness, bind them” this is a quote from JRR Tolkien’s lord of the rings. I thought of it when I got wind of the story of TWO BOYS who were arrested for using a MAGICAL RING to GANG-RAPE a 19 year old secondary school student.

The two young men were remanded in Agodi prison by an Ibadan magistrate court after allegedly using a magical ring to abduct and rape a 19 year old girl. They were also charged with stealing a blackberry phone belonging to the victim.

According to the victim;
“There is a boy who was not my boy friend. He was a student in that school about two years ago. His name is Biola. He had wanted to date me several times which I politely turned down. Just last Wednesday, when I closed from school, Biola came to me in company of two unidentified boys and said his mum wanted to see me.
“‘I asked him what led to the invitation by his mum. I then told him I would not go. Then, one of the two other guys who had a ring on his hand hit me on the chest and I was unconscious. They took me to the residence of one of the two boys and raped me.
“Before raping me, they gave me alcoholic drink and after the crime had been committed, they gave me ‘covenant water’ threatening me that I would die if I told anybody of the act.”

A ranking police officer who wishes to remain anonymous confirmed the story saying:
“On May 15 at 0815 hours, one Adekola living on Akanbi Street, Molade area of Ibadan reported that his younger sister and a secondary school student went to school and did not return home. All efforts to trace her proved abortive.
“Then about 23:00hours, an unanimous caller called through the victim’s GSM number and identified himself as kidnapper and demanded N6,000. The DCO led other policemen and the victim was rescued.”
She was unconscious and was rushed to a nearby hospital. She later narrated how she was kidnapped and gang-raped by three persons. Two arrests have been made while the third suspect is still at large. The two suspects have been charged to court.”

This is old news… but the truth is; not all horses run at the same pace.

For those who follow the reality talent hunt show- Britain’s got talent, you would already know about ‘CEO dancers’.

They are a dance trio; 2 Nigerians – 22 year old student Ezinne Asinugo & 23 year old sales advisor Soliat Bada and a South African – 24 year old stylist Nqobile Ntshangase. They auditioned and left the judges amazed with their stunning African themed routine.

They ‘booty shook’ not only to Beyonce’s single ladies but also to Iyanya’s Kukere and D’banj’s Oliver Twist… Oyinbo people dey feel our beats o. Shoo!!! (•͡.̮ ~͡ )
They got four hefty yesses from the judges which included Simon Cornwell and Alesha Dixon.

Fifty-four pregnant girls and 200 students on drugs have been uncovered in Lagos public secondary schools after a survey, carried out by the office of Youth and Social Development, an arm of the Lagos State Ministry of Youth, Sports and Social Development.

The statistics revealed that 54 pregnant girls were counselled by the school social services of the office in the last one year out of the 378 schools visited. Out of the 54 pregnant girl students counselled, 18 of them with serious depression were brought under supervision of the social welfare service.

Also, 200 cases of drug abuse were uncovered, while the students involved were counselled and 61 of them placed under supervision, 2,095 students involved in truancy were also counselled among the students, with 213 students placed under supervision.

The statistics further revealed 427 cases of gangsterism among students and placed 73 of such students under supervision, while 461 students were counselled on sex education, with 103 students placed under supervision.

Also, 154 cases of sexual assault were uncovered and the victims were counselled, while 27 of such affected students were placed under supervision. 91 victims of physical abuse were counselled, with 27 placed under supervision.
The department also counselled 102 students who absconded with 50 of such students placed under supervision.

The implications of this statistics are horrible to even consider and begs the question: “how did they lose their way, so early in life?”
